Autostereotyp i stereotyp Ślązaka
Self-stereotype and stereotype of a Silesian

Summary/Abstract: The author discusses features characteristic for a Silesian, such as: strong sense of identification with his own group, reluctance towards foreigners accompanied by (self-stereotypical) tolerance, inanity resulting from worse education or inability to switch from an ethnolect to a national language. Among these features the author counts also diligence (which is regarded as positive or negative feature), passion for purity, attachment to the family, religious attitude, beloved habit of eating „krupniok‟ and drinking beer, listening to and telling jokes. Concluding the article, the author indicates how stereotypes were changing gradually and she distinguishes between static and dynamic stereotypes of Silesians.
